Each figure tells you something new. No datapoint "trumps" another by being more interesting. These two numbers do add useful context though, so thanks for that.
Interesting may not be the right word. Though CFRs that are an order of magnitude apart suggests the discrepancy between actual and confirmed cases in many regions of the world is much greater than that in the US.
We know deaths lag behind infections by a week or two. [1] and we know the US was a couple of weeks behind Italy and Spain in their infections blowing up.
So we'll have to wait until a couple of weeks after peak infections before we can see the true mortality rate in any given region/country.
